Hi all. I am writing a graduate paper this semester on the ways we as swimmers deal with the instable medium for which choose to perform our sport. I am particularly interested in the language and sensorium of our sport.
1) Your experience with walking routines.
ie. How did you learn to walk a routine? Does your body automatically translate walking to the water? Was this difficult for you to learn? Do you remember learning it, or is it now second nature? Does everyone on your team walk routines consistently? What are the benefits of walking? Do you find it useful? Do you like it?
2) How do you personally learn a new routine?
ie. Do you write it down? Videotape? Rely on others input? If you record it somehow, if possible please email me a copy of your notes.
3) What is your experience interacting with water.
ie. How do you feel when swimming? disoriented, weightless, free, confined, strong, unstable, etc..
